Louis, if you are impatient, then subscribe to the FreeBSD 2.2 snap release CD, that gives you access to the full CVS repository. The latest is just out. The CD ships immediately after your order via WWW. After that you are able to checkout the -current tree and to setup your system to receive CVS repository updates via e-mail on a daily basis. So you can get day for day new wonderful changes and you are directly on the way to 2.2.0. So do I and I'm very satisfied with this method. Doing a make world every now and then updates your OS to the newest release.
